In return for £3m profit, Mike Ashley has ensured that St James Park can never be expanded with land opposite Gallowgate to be built on.

Lats week I wrote an article on The Mag (see below) about Mike Ashley selling the lease on land opposite St James Park.

So Mike Ashley makes millions out of what had been a club asset AND at the same time stops St James Park ever been expanded in the future.

No doubt Mike Ashley would simply say ‘business is business’ when it comes to putting more money in his own pocket.

Mike Ashley as shown no interest in increasing the St James Park capacity, in fact he has shown zero interest in improving any of the infrastructure at the club, whether it be SJP, the training complex or the academy.

One of these was a long-term lease on land opposite the Gallowgate End, next to St James Park Metro station.
